3.4. Effect of organic manure and chemical fertilizers on artemisinin yield
The results showed that various treatments had significant effect on artemisinin yield in various plant parts, viz., leaf, stem and inflorescence and maximum artemisinin yield from leaf and stem parts was achieved at pre-flowering stage when compared among the treatments. The artemisinin yield from leaf however, was maximum and ranged from 14.01 to 21.52 kg ha−1 at pre-flowering stage. The highest artemisinin yield was recorded with treatment T4 (53.60%) followed by T3 (33.48%) and T2 (11.42%) over control at pre-flowering stage (Table 8).
